Support Local In The Brantford Community This Summer

Even with government support and COVID-19 financial aid, the pandemic has impacted many local businesses causing them to struggle to keep afloat or, unfortunately, shut down. As a community, we can show support to our local businesses by shopping online, ordering curbside pickup or delivery, or purchasing a gift card for future use. With the summer months ahead, you can also show support by booking a shuttle with Driverseat for a local winery or craft brewery tour.

Here are five local businesses in the Brantford community that we can support:
